Henrik Fisker, the Fisker Company CEO, stated that ``The Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races is the best stage in the world for great moments in automotive history``. He continued by saying that ``Fisker is honored to be a part of it``.

The Fisker Karma has a range of 80 kilometers (50 miles) on a full charge of its Lithium-ion battery and a total range of 480 kilometers (300 miles) thanks to an on-board generator powered by General Motor`s Ecotec engine that has an output of 260 horsepower. Thus, the two electric engines manage to develop a combined total power of 403 horsepower. That kind of power allows the full size sports sedan to go from 0 to 60 mph in about six seconds while having a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h).
